It was good RD, Friday nights in are the new nights out. A lot cheaper too - 6 cans and a laptop is all you need. Don't miss it next week.

Very surprised Martina Hingis got booted off as from what I saw tonight she was one of the best contestants. No way was Oxo woman or Big Joe as good as Hingis. I think the show has lost some credibility with that result... although not being a regular viewer maybe this is part of the game.

Yes she has Keef. I won't be watching anymore. I just wish I had called in more times though, I could have saved her.


And what was Len thinking? Did he have to be so objective, next time Len, just let Martina stay, not some bloke noone has ever heard of.

Shocking.


Disgruntled from ED.

Some people have always voted for who they like as an individual not who is the best dancer - e.g. John Sargeant and Kate Garroway were both utterly hopeless but stayed in for way longer than they deserved because the audience kept voting for them.


Equally some have got knocked out early despite being good dancers - I can recall Gabby Logan getting kocked out way before her husband even though she was clearly the better dancer, but I don't think her competitive nature went down well with the audience. Seems to me guys being competitive is considered to be acceptable but girls who show too much ambition get shown the door - better to bang on about loving the dance and "the journey" if you are a girl.


The boxer should definitely have gone last night, dreadful posture. And yes, Lynda Bellingham's dancing left much to be desired, but at least she showed a little more personality than Joe.


Aleesha wasn't quite as bad a judge as I was expecting (has to be said my expectations were v low), but no way should Arlene have been booted off to make way for her. Arlene's got way more experience, and although she was prone to going gooey eyed over the best looking guys, and could be a bit bitchy, she was generally the judge whose views I respected the most.

They could have saved on Martina's fee and just wheeled a cardboard cutout around instead. It would have been an improvement in the personality stakes.


Aleeeeshar already seems to have run-out of useful things to say. She's way out of her comfort zone. Still, it is at least nice to have someone younger on the judging panel. The old line-up was starting to resemble a queue at a bus stop.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
